The invention will he claimed at the end hereof, hm; will he fires described in connection Wllill the embodiment; of it chosen for illusirution in the accompanying drewin Whicl1-- l igure 1, is a. side view of a part of a embodying features of the invention.

u. sectional view of the some. Fig.

The rim seciicn 8 is connected with the keeper section 9 and the rim section 7 is connected with the keeper section 1-1 that is detachably connected with the part 9 by screws 12. The screws 12 are useful for drawing the sections '2' and 8 together leisally and so affording means for drawing manna-samu- Spccificslion of Letters Estcno Pail-outed June 26?, Milli.

the shoe around its filling. By shifting the ring 3 toward the right, in Fig. 2, all of the bolts are withdrawn. frornji-thc keepers and so the detachable rim can hllpulled ofi' laterally. "lhc operation of applying the detachable rim involves movement of the ring toward the left.

13 is a stud connected with the ring 3 and adopted to Work in u slotv l4 and to be seecured by a. hinged fork or plate 15 and ii thuinh-nut M3; is furnishes means for shifting the ring in the manner described.

p :24: is a recess for accommodating the filling' connection of she inner tube.

Face plates 17 and 18 constitute the fixed rim, spoke-parts 19 and hub-parts 20 and there are angle sections 21 transverse to the plates and constituting with them boxspolzcs and s. hox-fixed rim. The various ports are riveted together and constitute a strong, ligh'e structure, the parts of which can he pressed. The trough sections 22 cohsticute imporcont poi-ls of the openings in the hollow fixed rim, since they serve to engage ahc keepers.
